Reid: Romney can’t be trusted on taxes
By Ramsey Cox - 10/02/12 02:06 PM ET
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) went after GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for not being forthcoming about his own taxes or his tax plan for the American people.
“Mitt Romney could clear up these issues tomorrow if he would simply release his tax returns and release the details of his tax plan,” Reid said in a statement Tuesday. “Instead, he's asking the American people to just trust him. Mitt Romney does not seem to understand that trust is earned — and not by playing shell games with the American people.”
Reid’s comments came after a New York Times article about Romney’s use of offshore accounts.
“Today’s report proves that nothing Mitt Romney says about taxes can be taken at face value,” Reid said. “Instead of owning up to his use of secret offshore tax havens in places like Bermuda and Switzerland to enrich himself, Mitt Romney parsed words to try and convince the American people that he did not benefit from these havens — when in fact, he appears to have made millions from them over the course of his career.”
